In occupied Oleshky, due to a two-month absence of food deliveries, prices at the local market have reached critical levels.
This is reported by local resident Alla Lykhman-Malysh.
Thus, a dozen chicken eggs costs $12 (about 490 UAH), a kilogram of potatoes — from $4 to $7.5 (165–310 UAH), a pack of groats (0.8 kg) — $8.6 (350 UAH), a single carrot — $1.5 (60 UAH), and a pack of cigarettes — almost $15 (615 UAH).
The woman reports that the city is being supplied only from internal reserves.
This year’s poor fruit harvest (cherries, apricots, mulberries) and the scorching of grass have deprived residents of alternative food sources, the post says.
Due to a shortage of feed, chickens are being fed briquettes made from sunflower and corn pulp, and dogs — canned food and jam.
Recall, in June 2026 Russia finally recognized a humanitarian catastrophe in Oleshky.
Ukraine called on the UN Secretary-General and international partners to influence Russia to ensure respect for international humanitarian law and to create safe conditions for the evacuation of civilians.
More than 6,000 residents of the occupied part of the Kherson region may need humanitarian assistance, including about 200 children. Most of them have limited mobility.
The day before, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets asked the International Committee of the Red Cross to secure a “ceasefire” on July 3 to carry out a humanitarian evacuation of civilians from Oleshky in the Kherson region and other settlements.
